Justin Forsett could out-touch Devontae Booker again in Week 15

Denver was playing from behind all game on Sunday and they ended up throwing the ball 51 times, which left little work for their running backs. Booker and Forsett combined for nine carries and 18 rushing yards. Even though it was Forsett's first game with the Broncos, he accounted for six of those carries and out-touched Booker 9-5 in total. Beat writer Mike Klis believes that Booker is getting worn down, as he had two knee surgeries in the offseason. This means Booker is a player to avoid in fantasy down the stretch. Forsett will likely lead the backfield and Juwan Thompson could get more work. Of course, the offensive line has struggled all season as well, so Forsett isn't really a viable option either. Expect plenty of throwing from Siemian and plenty of passes for Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, who've received 54.1% of the team's targets. They visit the Patriots in Week 15, who rank 25th in pass DVOA.

Juwan Thompson could start at RB vs. OAK

The Denver running back situation is officially a mess. Both Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson are expected to be full practice participants tomorrow, but Gary Kubiak has still said that there is a chance Juwan Thompson draws the start. This would make the backfield untargetable outside of deep GPPs, as there really isn't a way to determine where the majority of the workload will land. Thompson finished last week with 8 carries for 27 yards and added a reception for 14 yards, so it's hard to say where the confidence from Gary Kubiak is being drawn from. This will be a very messy situation for DFS players to dig through this week.
